In a comment, Mrs. K asked how big my M8 rosette ended up. I know the paper pieces are larger than the original, but I didn’t know how big the rosette was, so I measured it.
I know the photo is small, but the tape measure says 40 inches! WOW! I am glad there are only a few of these in the quilt. They are pretty hard to maneuver when they are this large. I know I will be challenged when I put the whole thing together.
That is so much bigger than I realized, wow! It must be very hard not to stretch and pull something that big out of shape.
It is actually very stable. Unlike some people, I keep my papers in as long as possible so that it doesn’t stretch. The papers really help keep it flat and in the shape it is supposed to be.
